What is the command to list multipathing modules on an ESXi 6.x host?

The correct answer is C. esxcli storage core plugin list --plugin-class=MP. The correct esxcli syntax for listing multipathing plug-in modules on ESXi 6.x uses the subcommand pair 'plugin list' followed by the '--plugin-class=MP' flag.

Why each option

The correct esxcli syntax for listing multipathing plug-in modules on ESXi 6.x uses the subcommand pair 'plugin list' followed by the '--plugin-class=MP' flag.

Aesxcli storage core list plugin --plugin-class=MP

The subcommand order 'list plugin' is reversed - the correct syntax requires 'plugin list', making this an invalid esxcli command.

Besxcli storage core list plugin --class-plugin=MP

Both the subcommand order ('list plugin' instead of 'plugin list') and the flag name ('--class-plugin' instead of '--plugin-class') are incorrect.

Cesxcli storage core plugin list --plugin-class=MPCorrect

The valid command is 'esxcli storage core plugin list --plugin-class=MP', where 'plugin list' is the correct subcommand order and '--plugin-class' is the correct flag name for filtering results to the MP (Multipathing) plugin class.

Desxcli storage core plugin list --class-plugin=MP

The flag '--class-plugin' does not exist in esxcli - the correct flag is '--plugin-class', so this command would fail.
